Japanese forward Ayase Ueda, 27, is set to travel to Lille this evening to complete his transfer to the French club, where he will sign a multi-year contract. While the exact transfer fee has not been disclosed, it is higher than the nine million euros Feyenoord paid to Cercle Brugge three years prior. The deal was finalized after LOSC Lille's chairman, Olivier Létang, visited De Kuip this afternoon to discuss the final details with Feyenoord's management, reaching an agreement shortly after the match against ADO Den Haag. In that 2-2 draw, Ueda scored his fortieth and final goal for Feyenoord before immediately saying goodbye to several staff members. The forward will finalize his personal terms and undergo a medical in Lille tomorrow. Ueda felt he was ready for a new challenge and chose Lille over a potential move to Turkey, despite interest from Fenerbahce. The opportunity to play for a club that competes at the top of French football and will participate in the Champions League this season were factors in his decision. The Japanese international, who has 43 caps and 18 goals for his country, was under contract with Feyenoord until 2028 and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €20.00m. In addition to the interest from Fenerbahce, several Premier League clubs were also associated with the player.
